Almost but not quite

Did spend time outside today but not with Suzi, clearing blocked drains instead!!
Did have some success on the internet and have ordered GT250A/B fiches which should give the correct drawings/parts list (drawings posted before are K/L/M).
When this comes through I'll get the correct drawings for the differences posted (crankcase, crankshaft etc.)
Also found some good suppliers on line and I'll add a link (when I find out how!!) to the better ones but problem with oil plug is now sorted.

Here's hoping for better progress next year!

  1. I have a 1977 GT250 and i need to replace the pistons. Unfortunately I'm a total nitwit when it comes to engine reassembly, so I hope to learn something from this blog.
    It's my first motorbike and I'm really excited to get it going again so I can start practicing for my license.

    Keep up the good work!

  2. Hey, really hoping you can help me. My dad has a 1975 GT250 that he bought new at the age of 19. Sadly it ended up getting left outside for a decade or two. A few years ago he decided to restore it to its former glory, however the rear shock absorbers are on the blink. I have trawled all over the web looking for a set of 305mm rear shocks but can only ever find the 320mm ones, do you know of any sites that might have them ? Really hope you can help !!!
